BRAKES & BRAKE REPAIR

At Kinney's Complete Auto Repair & 4 Wheel Drive Center, we want our Grawn customers to have the opportunity to feel comfortable in their vehicle. You can leave the repairs and services to our professionals, but please don't hesitate to ask us questions about why a service is needed or how it occurred. Give us a call at 231-946-7180, and we will be happy to speak with you. Here is some valuable information on brake issues and corrective services Kinney's Complete Auto Repair & 4 Wheel Drive Center offers.

Brake Pad & Shoe ReplacementBrake pad problems can usually be identified by squealing brakes. If your brake pads deteriorate completely, you'll hear a grinding metal-on-metal sound when braking, meaning that it's too late and you're ruining your rotors or drums! Those with knowledge of auto repair may be able to fix this at home, but you should always see an auto repair professional immediately if you have brake problems.

Resurface RotorsIn a disc brake system, rotors are attached to your vehicle's wheels. When the brake pads grip the rotor, they bring both the rotor and wheels to a stop. However, the friction causes grooves and cracks to appear over time. Resurfacing brings the rotor back to a "like-new" condition, reducing squealing and wobbling. Kinney's Complete Auto Repair & 4 Wheel Drive Center will give your rotors a thorough inspection and recommend your best course of action.

Caliper ReplacementThe brake caliper houses your brake pads and fits around the rotor like a clamp, pressing the pads against the rotor when you brake. A brake caliper problem could cause uneven braking, making your car slide forward when you brake. Uneven braking can also cause your vehicle to slide out of control in bad weather conditions, so contact Kinney's Complete Auto Repair & 4 Wheel Drive Center as soon as possible.

Brake HosesA brake hose is a tube carrying pressurized brake fluid from the master cylinder to the brakes. A crushed hose can cause a lagged or slow brake, and a leak in the hose can cause the brake, or the entire brake system, to fail. These don't need to be replaced often, but should be replaced at the first sign of cracking or wear.

Brake Fluid FlushesBrake fluid will absorb water from the air over time, causing the brake system to become less effective and the fluid to become corrosive, possibly damaging the system. It is important to perform a brake fluid flush regularly to ensure that your vehicle is using fresh fluid. Talk to our technicians at Kinney's Complete Auto Repair & 4 Wheel Drive Center about when it's time for a brake fluid flush.

Matt was an absolute pleasure to work with, he kept me informed the whole time my truck was in the shop. The turn around time was remarkably quick for the job they had to do and with such short notice. I really appreciate being treated so well, keep up the great work guys!-Josh H.

The staff at Kinney's was very professional and friendly by phone and in person. They diagnosed the problem well, and fixed the repair very timely.

We are pleased with the professional and knowledgeable service.-Kim H.

Ron Wiebe and Matt Kinney could not have been more professional and friendly. I was traveling from Georgia and needed my truck
checked for possible drivetrain problems and an oil change. The technician
took me on a test drive to ensure he knew my concerns. He checked
everything I was concerned with and much more. I can now pull my travel
trailer without worrying about the truck's drivetrain. If it weren't for
the distance, Kinney's would do all of my truck maintenance. Thank's to you all
for your honest work and professionalism.-Richard
